Draft

After a months-long investigation, the NBA has severely punished the Los Angeles Clippers for violating salary cap rules in the Kawhi Leonard affair: the team was fined $30 million, owner Steve Ballmer was suspended for a year, and the player himself was also fined.

The former NBA star continues his campaign to join the WNBA. Conservative commentators attack the league for opposing it: "It's a disaster, there is a historic opportunity to attract an audience."
